Initial line & color logic solves 97% with only black remaining.#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jul 11, 2023
C28: No matter where the black 2 is placed, R20-21 C27 are black.
LL to finish.

Hi all, thanks for solving my puzzle! It's the first one I've made.#5: Koreen (mom24plus) on Jul 26, 2023
I hope that the last bit isn't too frustrating. The first draft had a lot more white and was beyond my current ability to solve. But as I added more color to make it more logical, the image became less compelling. I attempted a compromise, knowingly leaving things a bit ambiguous, but also trying to leave enough breadcrumbs for a solve.
My thought was: I think I got it to the point where there are only a few possibilities, and once R9-R14 are in place, which I'm pretty sure can be logically done, one might use the image to suggest what to try with the remainder.
It's a nice image.
